The government of Zimbabwe has said about 4 000 hectares of wheat have been destroyed by the rains with the largest portion of 3 225 affected in Mashonaland West province.
Speaking at a post-Cabinet briefing, ICT minister Jenfan Muswere said despite the damage, 58 972 hectares of wheat have been harvested so far. He said:
<blockquote>
The nation is further informed that the 58 972 ha which have so far been harvested have culminated in 255 618 metric tonnes (mt) of wheat.
On a sad note, a total of 3 980 ha of the wheat crop was damaged by rains, with the largest hectarage of 3 225 being in Mashonaland West province.
The nation is being informed that the GMB grain stocks as at 20 November, 2022 stand at 561 554 mt comprising 482 554 mt of maize and 79 120 mt of traditional grains.
Using a monthly consumption rate of 49 295 mt (24 295 mt for Social Welfare and 25,000 mt to millers and stock feed manufacturers), the available grain will last for 11.4 months.
Millers and stock feed manufacturers are expected to import grain to cover the gap in their own requirements. A total of ZW$25.161 billion and US$24 million has since been paid out to farmers for grain intake since 1 April, 2022.
</blockquote>
A bumper harvest could cushion Zimbabwe from grain shortages triggered by the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Minister Says 4 000 ha Of Wheat Have Been Damaged By Rains

The Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Anxious_Masuka">Anxious Masuka</a> has said the price of bread will inevitably fall as wheat harvesting intensifies, <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/bread-prices-set-to-fall">The Sunday Mail</a> reported.
Due to shortages of wheat, the retail price of bread shot up earlier this year to about US$1.30.
Authorities say the country expects <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/wheat-harvesting-starts-in-zimbabwe/">a record 380 000 tonnes of wheat</a> against a national requirement of 360 000 tonnes.
Addressing journalists on Friday, 30 September 2022, Minister Masuka said:
<blockquote>
To cushion consumers with affordable flour and bread, the price of wheat to millers by the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) will be reduced by 4,4 percent from US$680 per metric tonne to US$650 per metric tonne, payable in the ratio of US$33:$67 (33 percent payable in US dollars and 67 percent in local currency).
The price also takes into consideration macroeconomic fundamentals and the likely impact of the floor price on the exchange rate, and the price of commodities such as flour and bread.
With the bumper harvest that has a surplus to our local requirement, it means we are going to export some of our soft wheat in return for the 30 percent hard wheat, which is a smart way of doing business because we will not need foreign currency to import.
What this means is, once we have enough flour at a reduced price as tabled by the Government, the flour price and bread price will eventually drop.
</blockquote>
He said wheat and wheat flour imports will be suspended as the country anticipates self-sufficiency in domestic requirements.
Masuka also announced prices of wheat pegged in US dollars with an ordinary grade of wheat slated at US$620 per tonne while the premium grade is US$682.

Agriculture Minister Says Bread Prices Will Eventually Drop

In an interview with The Chronicle, the Zimbabwe Wheat Board chairperson Mr Givemore Mesoemvura said Government should pay 20 percent foreign currency on deliveries made to the Grain Marketing Board so that farmers are able to buy inputs.
He said farmers are now buying inputs in foreign currency. Said Mesoemvura:
<blockquote>We held a wheat conference in Harare last week. At the conference, the wheat farmers revealed that they no longer afford to buy inputs using local currency given the prevailing situation in the market. So, they requested if they can receive 20 percent of the payment in forex so that they are able to procure inputs for the next season. As the wheat board, we saw it reasonable to lobby Government on their behalf to have the farmers receive 20 percent of the payment in forex.</blockquote>

Wheat Farmers Want Govt To Pay 20 Percent Foreign Currency

The Zimbabwe Wheat Board (ZWB) has appealed to the government to protect them from the high costs of producing wheat. The ZWB is particularly worried about the high costs of electricity and water. The board presented these concerns to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and after the meeting  ZWB board chairman Givemore Mesoemvura said:
<blockquote>We found ourselves agreeing that there is a need for each of the value chain players to look at their costs with a view to reducing the cost of production which has made us uncompetitive on the regional and global market…
They (wheat farmers) have challenges from electricity tariffs, water tariffs and even the technical knowhow and this is where they require capacity building. This is where we are going to be working with them to ensure that their capacity is enhanced and also the cost of electricity and water, at the least the tariffs, come down those are the major costs</blockquote>
